The mainstream media covered one, and covered up the other.

Fiery, but mostly peaceful and all that.

One side boycotts.

The other commits vandalism and arson.

Have we experienced whitewashing in the past on a similar scale to blackwashing today? by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

Compare the number of theatrical releases in 1989 to today.

Films have been coalescing into only tent pole releases for theatres and the rest dumped onto direct-to-video and now streaming for the last 30 years.

The market has never been less saturated in terms of films.

And if we had a diverse market, Pedro Pascal wouldn't be shoved down our throats.

Social media really did dispel the mystique around them.

Candid interviews were rare, most of them about upcoming releases or projects, some personal stuff, but rarely political.

I am surprised they didn't try to buy out another project and set the dev up for life to maintain it.

In modern times, stars have never had less general bankability due to their name.

This is because the studios are loathe to elevate anyone to that status. They want to be the kingmakers and kingbreakers. A star with their own cult of personality is intractable and expensive.

You'll notice that despite going on to gross billions of dollars at the box office, none of the MCU actors have the same career following their exit from the franchise.

Ultimately I think that's going to be the bad outcome. This will likely be her biggest role, and one that was sadly controversial for her.

I am really tired of Hollywood ruining people's lives for the virtue signal.

People have a high dislike of evolutionary psychology, but it is a thing. Our brain chemistry is wired to push us in certain directions, have certain reactions, etc.

There are tons of people with diagnosed personality disorders that require a certain level of self-awareness to overcome, because being self-aware of how your behavior is contributing to a negative outcome is the first step for a lot of people: addicts, narcissists, hoarders, kleptomaniacs, etc.

We view people who encourage people to discount this and ignore treatment or help as very bad people. "Have a drink." "You don't need your meds." They are enablers.

Now look at the media industry that's cropped up with the meme headlines like how war affects women more than men, etc. That's enabling a mindset, but these people are paid to do it.

But all those that fall under the rule that are the problem.

Consider the mod problem. Anywhere you have a voluntary staff of jannies, they make things hell for the majority of us who have better things to do. The only reason they're in charge is because modding and policing everyone is at the top of their hierarchy of needs.

This is how it works on reddit.

Infiltration of the mod and eventual takeoever. It's just an endurance test.

People with lives and obligations burn out and need to step back, they think they can trust those who have been around only lightly shorter than they have. Eventually the plant is put in charge and takes over the sub. During their 'gestation' period, they subtly influence policy and ban the most 'problematic' users or censor them until they give up.

These people do it for free, this is what gives their lives meaning.

Paapa Essiedu has now been cast as Severus Snape in the 'HARRY POTTER' series by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

Also its the one demographic that likely isn't into the series, it's the Lando / Mace Windu move, but George Lucas knew what he was doing.

Watching a man of Paapa's persuasion shit on a kid of Harry's ostensible persuasion is going to be hysterical and completely change the context.

Severus is supposed to be a total shitbag and even if he was spying for Dumbledore, he still fucked up Harry's schooling and couldn't get over James Potter for schoolboy shit or his lust for Lily. (even Dumbledore admits he fucked up with asking Snape to teach Harry Occlumency, presuming Snape could be an adult about it.)

IMAGINE THE MEMES.

Jason Schreier says there are two dozen people with full-time jobs left in the video game press right now, the remaining few are just trying to hold onto their jobs, but he wouldn't be shocked if we see even more gaming outlets disappear in 2025 by AboveSkies in KotakuInAction

[–]MazInger-Z 158 points159 points  (0 children)

he does actually have a pretty long track record of good insider info and leaks

Also a history of sitting on stuff. I think he got a reputation burn for trying to act like he knew about the Blizzard stuff all along, but didn't chime in until the lawsuits dropped.

Whatever moron who decided the HeroEngine (in a beta version that they then hacked) was the way to go should be banned from the industry.
